Pakistan was expensive to comment on human rights violations at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). India reprimanded Pakistan for this matter and called him to face the harassment of minorities on its land.
Speaking at the 34th meeting of the 60th session of UNHRC in Geneva on Wednesday, Indian diplomat Mohammad Hussain showed a mirror to Pakistan. He said, ‘India finds it very ironic that a country like Pakistan wants to give speech on human rights to others. Instead of spreading propaganda, Pakistan should face the oppression of minorities on its land.

India showed Pakistan a mirror
India’s statement came when a deadly incident has occurred in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. In North-Western Pakistan, at least 24 civilians, including women and children, were killed and several others injured when explosive bursting in a campus associated with the Pakistani Taliban.
While the police described it as an explosion, the residents and the provincial branch of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party claimed that it was not an explosion, but a air strike or ‘jet bombing’ on the campus in Matur Dara area of Tirah Valley, which was destroyed in which five houses were destroyed.
According to the station house officer Zafar Khan of Tirah police station, 10 civilians and 14 terrorists were killed in the blast. Local protesters accused government officials of failing to ensure the safety of citizens.
Pakistan’s human rights concerns were also highlighted by international voices in the UNHRC season. International geopolitical researcher Josh Bores said that Pakistan is ranked 158th in the World Press Freedom Index.
He said that according to the 2025 USCIRF religious freedom report, more than 700 people are in jail in the allegations of Ishaninda, which is a 300 percent increase compared to the previous year.
He also highlighted the plight of Baloch people. The human rights body of the Baloch National Movement has recorded a record of forcibly disappearance of 785 people and 121 murders in the first half of 2025 alone. Pashtun National Jirga has claimed that 4000 Pashtuns are still missing in 2025.
Human rights activist Arif Ajakia also expressed concern over Pakistan’s human rights situation and alleged that Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces have been in operation for a long time.
